The Space:
This bright, modern gem is waiting for you to discover it! Natural light floods into the second-story hideaway through skylights and over-sized picture windows while contemporary, inviting interiors come by way of local architecture and design firms Architectural Artisans and Zimmer-Design.

These gleaming spaces are a delight for the senses. All your needs have been thoughtfully considered from blackout curtains to eco-friendly toiletries, white noise machines and surfaces perfect for working on your laptop. We aim to keep you comfortable when you’re staying Upstairs! Take a moment to enjoy a cup of small-batch coffee while you kick your feet up and browse through the art and design periodicals available in your spaces.

Inquire about opportunities to book out both Upstairs units for your couples getaways! Upstairs can also be rented out for photoshoots–get in touch to work out the details.

Guest Aberlyn says:

"This is the perfect Louisville Airbnb! The location is terrific — you can walk to the most desired spots in town and are in the heart of it all, but the property is tucked away off of the street making it a delightfully quiet and private spot. The interior design is thoughtful and beautiful — every bit as lovely as the photos and more. The hosts have thought of everything, from terrific recommendations that only the most knowledgeable locals could deliver as well as fantastic amenities. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that the kitchen offered even more than we expected, including a mini fridge and electric kettle for making coffee or tea in the morning. I cannot recommend this property highly enough!"

Guest Access:
The apartment has a smart lock keypad for self check-in with a unique access code that last only the duration of guests' stays for safety and peace of mind.

The courtyard between apartments is also secure, and has a keypad entrance through the carport.

All access codes are sent 15 minutes before your scheduled arrival time.

The Neighborhood:
The NuLu and Butchertown neighborhoods are THE happening spots in Louisville. We are walking distance to downtown museums, Slugger field, waterfront park, the pedestrian bridge, the skate park, and a plethora of the trendiest shops and restaurants. The list of dining options is expansive and varied. You will find everything from pastries at Butchertown Bakery on Main Street to a decadent 3-course meal at MeeshMeesh. There are intriguing shops and galleries on Market Street and scattered throughout the neighborhood. The free trolley picks up passengers a block away and Ubers and cabs can be called at all hours. Our favorite thing about this neighborhood is the warm neighbors, business owners, and shop keepers that call the neighborhood home.

Getting Around:
The building's address is 827 E Market, but you'll access the apartments through the rear carport off Billy Goat Strut Alley. Look for the black building with 827 numerals and Upstairs signage, about halfway down the alley from either S Campbell or S Shelby Streets, 2 doors down from West Sixth Brewing.

Other Things to Note:
While we don't have onsite parking, there is plenty of parking in the NuLu neighborhood. Free street parking is available on Market or Main St around our building, and there's a paid overnight parking lot directly behind the carport with discounts for patrons of the NuLu Marketplace businesses (which we highly recommend!). The daily max in the paid lot is $17.

Want to start your trip early or sleep in on your last morning? We’re happy to accommodate an early check-in or late checkout if arranged in advance!
